Purpose: to mount a remote directory on my local Ubuntu Linux Desktop system using SFTP (which is SSH in an FTP-like fashion).

The goal is to easily gain access to a remote system’s files through another folder on my desktop. Debina/Ubuntu allows you to easily mount SSH folders via the GUI, however, these mounts won’t show up in the terminal (and in some programs).

Sshfs and mount

On Ubuntu, you would open a terminal window and perform the following:

1

2

3

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install sshfs

sudo adduser yourusername fuse

SFTP server. I created a folder on my desktop called sftp.

Once the folder has been created, simply run sshfs using the appropriate login information (host username and IP), the host and local directories, and the SFTP connection is mounted on a folder on my desktop.
